The year begins in the workaholic sign of Capricorn, and that means Julie and Gina have selected another wine grape to match the stubborn, loyal, no-nonsense sign whose symbol is a goat. We continue the series, "the grapes of the zodiac" with a comparison of Capricorn with the Nebbiolo grape from Italy's Piedmont region. It's found in the Langhe DOC appellation but is best known for its starring role in wines from Barolo.
